How to Help Your Non-Software Colleagues Adopt Agile

Abstract/Description

Exciting news! Colleagues from a non-software department, interested in adopting Agile, have turned to you for advice!

While you’d like to help them, you realize that copying your Agile practices for software/IT won’t cut it. Maybe even a popular process framework (name starts with “S”) wouldn’t be right for their work. They are already starting to use Agile bits – boards, stickies, sprints, and standups – but you’d like to help them go further and enjoy a context-specific Agile implementation that will transform their world.

What you need to do is help them design their implementation based on Agile values and principles. While you don’t have to be a process expert, you do need to have the right conversations. And, you need to discuss the Agile approach in a way that empowers your colleagues to make suitable choices, without being tied to any prescription, tool, or so-called best practices. Come to this session, led by the author of “The Agile Mindset,” to learn how to facilitate a rigorous, collaborative process for successfully customizing Agile to a given context.
